Carrie Lederer, *Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates,* acryla gouache on paper, 17” x 13”

This collection of selected works tells an intentional color story, harnessing vibrant, rich hues that ignite bold relationships to substrate, personal stories, and symbolic botanical forms. The varying subject matters are further transformed stylistically and in medium, speaking to art history and artistic diversity in the SF Bay Area and North Bay. Together, these sociocultural elements create a vivid dialogue between color, form, and meaning—offering viewers a layered visual experience that celebrates both individual expression and collectivity.
